EE 381S Space-Time Communication

EE 381S Space-Time Communication

Spring 2010

Space is truly the final frontier in wireless communication systems. When leveraged correctly, the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and / or the receiver, create a propagation channel with additional spatial degrees of freedom that can be exploited to improve the quality, capacity, and coverage – problems faced by all wireless systems. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of space-time communication from the perspective of signal processing and communication theory. The emphasis will be on MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication systems where antenna arrays are used at both transmitter and receiver. The class covers the fundamentals as well as a several advanced topics and an overview of MIMO related standards.
